Crewe will be looking to build on a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Crawley when they welcome Northampton in League Two round two. Josh March scored the winner in stoppage time to give the Railwaymen a winning start, and they will be hoping to maintain that momentum on home soil. Crewe have won 50% of their last 10 home matches, while BTTS landed in 67% of those games. Experienced defender Mickey Demetriou will miss out, however, as he serves a one-game suspension.
Northampton, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw by Swindon in their opening League Two fixture, registering only 0.89 xG. Their recent form is a major concern, with the Cobblers winless in their last 10 matches and losing eight of them. They have also scored just 0.60 goals per game during that run. Harvey Saunders could be handed a starting role after making an impact as a substitute against Swindon.
As Crewe made a winning start and Northampton have lost eight of their last 10 matches, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Crewe average only 2.30 total goals per game across their last 10, while Northampton have scored just 0.60 per match).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
